Gwangju Dong-gu Minimizes Resident Inconvenience in Preparation for Lunch Break Closure System

Installation of Unmanned Civil Service Issuance Machines in 10 Dong Districts

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City is making every effort to minimize inconvenience to residents due to the implementation of the lunch break closure system.

On the 30th, Dong-gu announced that it installed unmanned civil service issuance machines in 10 neighborhoods following the full implementation of the 'lunch break closure system' agreed upon in April by the Gwangju Metropolitan City District Mayors' Council and the National Public Officials Union Gwangju Regional Headquarters, starting July 1.

To ensure the complete establishment of the lunch break closure system, since May, Dong-gu has been continuously promoting it to residents through the Dong-gu website, the mobile app 'Dong-gu Doodream', the district newsletter 'Bitgoeul 1beonji', and other public relations media.

Additionally, official letters were sent to over 1,000 law offices in Jisan-dong, as well as apartment management offices, financial institutions, and other public and private organizations within the district to inform them of the system's implementation.

Dong-gu has completed the installation of unmanned civil service issuance machines at 10 Dong Administrative Welfare Centers and plans to install additional machines in 3 neighborhoods during July.

The machines have also been installed at 8 locations including the district office civil service center, Gwangju Bank headquarters, Jeon-dae and Jo-dae hospitals, and Gwangju Tax Office, totaling 18 locations.

To minimize inconvenience in using the unmanned civil service issuance machines, at least one staff member has been assigned in each neighborhood to assist users, with a total of 17 guides deployed.

The district plans to monitor civil service situations during lunch hours until the lunch break closure system is fully established and reflect this in the operation of civil service offices, ensuring no negligence in civil service processing by supplementing the system institutionally.

However, although civil service work will be closed during lunch hours, access to civil service offices will not be restricted in each neighborhood considering the operation of disaster and heatwave shelters.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, “With the full introduction of the lunch break closure system, we will make every effort to ensure that residents experience no inconvenience in civil service processing through unmanned civil service issuance machines and internet issuance.” He added, “We will address and collect any inconveniences that may arise during the initial trial period and actively reflect them in future civil service administration.”
